The number of foreclosure cases filed and pending in Cook County, Illinois, remains at an alll-time high. This crisis in our courts and communities has generated legislative and policy initiatives at the local, state, and federal levels, and in the courts themselves. The foreclosure crisis has also generated a significant amount of litigation challenging unfair, deceptive, or discriminatory practices in the mortgage lending or foreclosure processes. In this timely seminar, representatives from the judiciary and foreclosure defense bar will examine some of these initiatives as they apply to foreclosure practice in Cook County, Illinois, and the Northern District of Illinois.
